My students now have access to adaptive tools and materials that make learning and physical activity more inclusive, engaging, and fun for everyone.\r\n\r\nIn our Adapted Physical Education classes, every student deserves the opportunity to move, play, and grow with confidence. With the new adaptive equipment, I've already seen students light up when they can participate independently — catching a ball for the first time, moving with balance and control, or simply feeling proud of what they can do. These moments remind me how powerful inclusion truly is.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just fund equipment — it helped create belonging. You've given students with diverse abilities the chance to experience success alongside their peers and feel like true members of our school community.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of all of my amazing students, thank you for helping us adapt, include, and achieve together.

Especially feelings this school year. I have a student who has cortical vision impairment and he struggles with his vision on top of other sensory issues. When we began talking about our feelings the first week of school its hard to just show him a visual because in reality he is unable to see what is printed on a rectangular shaped piece of paper. The jumbo tactile worry stones were useful. First we talked about being happy and we took the little boys hand and rubbed it over the happy stone. We did this for the four main feelings: happy, sad, mad, worried. At first he was not a fan but when we added sound scenarios to being sad and mad he became more interested. \r\n\r\nI also want to share other stories too! The sensory tubes have been great too! Many children want to play with them! When we have whole group, I have been able to use the sensory tubes for a few students who just can't seem to remain on the rug doing morning meeting. The students have been successfully remaining on the rug with the tubes. I did have to remove the noisy tubes with the rubber balls during learning time! \r\n\r\nThe light up toys have been really good also because the students are really interested in the lights. They get really close to the lights and become super excited. Other items like the pop up caterpillar is a classroom favorite. These toys have been really good for when the kids finish their work they can earn the item they have chosen.\r\n\r\nI just want to say thank you for your continued supports and I look forward to sharing more and more stories!","fullyFundedDate":1746457035250,"projectUrl":"project/multi-sensory-learning/9273362/","projectTitle":"Multi-Sensory Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Downs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4015719_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634395195811","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-downs-class"},{"teacherId":4015719,"projectId":9282726,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing towards a book binding system and binding materials.

The children are able to choose how they would like to work in the art center, sitting or standing.\r\nIn our classroom, we have children who need additional help. An easel alters the paper placement and therefore the way a child approaches the drawing.
